That’s just stupid. First time you turned on the stereo the car would only roll 10 feet and die. You might as well install a nice ricer rat motor in it to make it complete. I wonder what happens when you get a virus? :)
I gotta admit, nice paint job tho.
Ugh-lee. I couldn’t watch even 1/2 of it without wanting to gag.
I have no idea why people spend money to make their car look/function like that.
Disgusting – but at least they have house music in Europe!
I have to admit, at first I thought is was just ugly. But after watching the whole video I realized it’s actually hideous. If these poor fools could use their talents for good instead of evil, the world would be a better place.
Looks like a mutant drawf Aztec with a runny (and bloody) nose.
God how ugly.
Props, though, for the amount of crazy shit they did to this car.
“Is This the Most Ridiculous Car Ever Created By Hand of Man?”
No, the Porsche Cayenne retired that title long ago.
It is no sillier than a NYC fashion show. It just demonstrates what happens when you have more time and money than brains and taste.
As opposed to created by the hand of…?
But this is a nice example of spending $75,000 to create a car worth $10,000. I could have done the same thing with a Mercedes and a baseball bat.

While I like the idea that not even the High and Mighty Prius is above being hopped up, this particular execution is just that, an execution. Poor car. It could have ended up driving around California, wearing some snarky bumper stickers. Fate, however, had other, more cruel plans for this one.
I can sum it all up in one word…why?
so. freakin. stupid.
Although it is funny how they struggle to get the doors open. I keep picturing them out in the rain, getting soaked, because they can’t figure out how to work the doors.
That, and the first pot hole they hit will fuck up the front.
Is it really any sillier than what Ed Roth was doing?

The answer to the question that everyone who witnesses this misbegotten abortion….
1. Because they can
2. No one told them not to
3. Because some sponsors write checks for promotion without checking out how their product or the money will be used.

As a fellow Swede, I am deeply ashamed. That car is wrong on so many levels I’ve lost count counting them all. If I wasn’t so stunned, I would have thought that the whole thing was a sort of practical joke. Perhaps some sort of post-ironic statement. But, then again, when did the customizing-crowd develop a sense of humour?
Well, what about putting a ferrari engine in a smart car?

and I like the music in that one too!
What no tv on the back. fail.
I love how the most ridiculous car ever created is the supposed “jesus-car,” the Toyota Prius.
But seriously, this is terrible.
My favorite part was when they were demonstrating the onboard Windows computer, and an error message box popped up.
Oh, and to answer the original question – quite possibly at least in the top five.
It would fit right in with some of the Civics in my neighborhood. In fact, its exterior would be considered “understated”.
“It is better to have people suspect that you are pathetic than to modify your Prius and remove all doubt”.
(With apologies to Mark Twain)
This video has inspired me to put a $30k paint job and Lambo doors on my refrigerator.
I don’t think it’s that bad. No really, let me explain: I like the two tone interior, and the exterior is unique and sporty.
I have but one suggestion: I think the car would look a lot better if it were on fire. Seriously, it’s the worst thing I’ve seen, ever. I would rather walk …
Lol @ windows error towards the end.
This makes me ashamed to say I like imports from Japan.
At least when you say “I like German Imports” people don’t think crappy tricked-out shit like this. They just think your a rich snob.
This is a glimpse of the future… 2 words: “Riced Robots”
Yes, the car is awful. But so is the camera work and the musical accompaniment, so at least they get points for consistency.
The car is called the “Phoenix.” But it appears their inspiration wasn’t the mythical bird, but the ashes it rose from.
I think this is the best thing to ever happen to a toyota prius. WIth the ground kit it looks much more aesthetically pleasing to me.
The interior is too much though, and the doors are dumb
I think they’ve done an amazing job of turning the Prius into something that’s not so damned ugly.
Kudos to the Swedes.
It’s no dumber than scaling K2, sending men to the moon, or sailing off to the flat end of the Earth. It’s not my style, but they’re not hurting anyone with their ‘creation’. I challenge all the haters to make a stock Prius look any better.
“Is This the Most Ridiculous Car Ever Created By Hand of Man?”.
No, this thing looks like it was created by some retarded orangutans who had been given lobotomies…
Aside from arguing the “hand of man” portion of the question…
Yep. It’s a total and complete trainwreck.
No, but it’s close. And yes, it does fit in with some of the souped-up Honda Civics and other rice-burners. We may have just seen a glimpse of the future.
A few weeks ago, I saw a Prius w/ a trailer hitch. Thought that was the dumbest thing I’d ever seen done to a car. We have a new winner!
The car isn’t too bad.
No, really.
Just imagine that car with regular doors painted in black with an interior done up in black leather with the style and quality of an Audi interior.
Whole ‘nuther animal.
Wow.
Just got home from a long trip. I’m half in the bag from lack of sleep, and I check TTAC and see this…
I’ll report on any weird dreams… or if i murder someone while sleepwalking…
With all the add-ons, how much would the UK’s CO2 tax be if they exported this animal?
This car is beautiful. But that Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon? What a POS, a$$-ugly underwear streak that thing is. GM should have modeled it after this Prius, instead.
Got more LCD screens than a Best Buy, more speakers than a political convention, and more ugly than an Ellen Degeneres fan club — I like it, because it makes my car look good.
Some irony in that shift knob, as the driver would really be “behind the 8-ball” in a low-speed collision – imagine the resulting electrical fire, then trying to escape through doors that open with all the ease of a bank vault…
But I like that the doors would reduce “dings” on other cars!
That just might be the ugliest car I’ve ever seen short of the Zion. Absolutely hideous. Why spend that much money on something that looks like a roller skate?

Not my style but that said he did seem to build a car with all the details well done.
Folks, invest in hearing aid companies – there is going to be a whole generation that needs them…
First shoot the camera person.
This isn’t my cup of tea but I am happy that people with money, artists, and mechanics are joining together to experiment. Maybe 90% of this was silly and even ugly but maybe 10% will demostrate features that do turn out to be useful or fun.
We need the far out types. They add fun and sometimes usefullness to our lives.
Laaaame. First off, I didn’t see any fire coming out of the exhaust, and that tail pipe is only like 3 inches in diameter. Second, where is the rear spoiler? And last but not least, the lack of spinning rims indicates an appalling inattention to detail.
